What does it really mean to be chosen?
Sherry Lynn entered the world under uncertain circumstances and, just days later, became the cherished daughter of an Arizona couple determined to make her their own. She grew up knowing she had been chosen-a beautiful word that carried more weight than she understood at the time.
In Chosen: Childhood of Trust, Sherry looks back at the funny, painful, complicated, and sometimes downright unbelievable moments that shaped her early life. There were fiercely devoted parents, unforgettable family characters, childhood friendships, tragedy and loss, struggles with weight and expectations, teenage rebellion, and the first love that would leave a lasting mark on her life.
Set against the backdrop of Arizona in the 1960s, '70s, and early '80s, this memoir captures a childhood filled with family, music, laughter, mistakes, heartbreak, and the constant search for belonging.
Sherry doesn't tell her story from the perspective of someone who always made the right choices. She tells it as the woman who lived them-with honesty, humor, hindsight, and compassion for the girl she once was.
Chosen: Childhood of Trust is the beginning of a larger journey through love, marriage, motherhood, loss, resilience, and a life that rarely went according to plan.
Sometimes being chosen is only the beginning of discovering who you really are.
